Thoughts on this one?

Hammer, I am glad it all worked out for you in the end. You win some, you lose some. I have seen your gallery (I am always lurking around here). You did a great job.

I did end up buying another boat (actually 2). 18' Sea Ox and a 15' Whaler. Both are gone....the birth of child #2 took care of most of the boating budget. If I had my old budget I would be buying the one for 6k "old school".....If I had my choice I'd be sitting in his driveway now. For now however, I need to get something to hit the bay again and work on gradually...figured she looked good but this is the second or third run on ebay and wasn't sure if she was discussed before. At 1,500 a new block would only be another 2k or so, not terrible for a V, at least the one's I've seen.
